I picked up a thousand rounds of trap loads at Walmart. yesterday. They were $ 34.50 per four pack. The Federal's were higher in price a few weeks ago and now the price has come down ! Good news !

Seems like the summer goes rather quickly after the 4th of July. Fall is not that far off, are you starting to get the itch yet?

This is just my opinion, but I think gas and ammo prices have shut a lot of guys down this season so far? Let's hear some feedback?

I recently dusted off my late father's Ithaca 51 12ga autoloader. I contacted Les Hovencamp of Diamond Gunsmithing in Ithaca NY and I installed a new action spring, bolt buffer and receiver buffer. These guns were known to be fragile and they needed a longer action spring when they were brand new. ...

Here are a few pics from this past season. I am posting from pics I had to move to my computer, so I hope this works... I discovered 2 new farms to hunt that I believe will provide a lot of action for me moving forward. The farmers are very eager to reduce the crow damage to their watermelon crops. I believ...

Only a few days left here, dropped 33 a few days ago at a place I deer hunt. Dusted 24 this morning in a pipeline clearing close to home with a stiff north wind. They lined up right in front of me while I was standing in the shadows of a cedar tree. Fairly easy shooting for a windy day. That puts my clicker at 66...

Does anyone use hub like blind that obviously does not have a roof that would work for crow hunting?

What constriction does everyone recomend? Will be using 7 and 8 shot high brass out of a mossberg 9200.

Three years ago today, Dec. 27, 2019 I shot my last crow. I sold all my crow hunting gear since then, and about all that I have to do with crow hunting now is think about it. Do I miss it, not really, but I think about those days which lasted approx. 55 years. But there was one span of about 27 years in which I cro...

I went on a 3 day outing with an older fella that wanted to shoot some crows. We revisited some areas that Dale and I had been earlier in the season. One of the first stops was really a scouting venture and when I parked by the orchard to see what activity was going on I could hear occasional gun shots, come to...

I shot 160 on a solo hunt yesterday and with that hit my 172,000 th crow in 49 crow seasons! Back in 2000 when I shot my 100,000th crow I never thought I would get this far. So many wonderful memories over the years chasing those crows!

Our first outing was on Tue. 8 Nov. A warm windy day that was predicted to be cloudy, but ended up mostly sunny. We ended up with 52, and were quite pleased with that number. It was good to be out again, shaking off the rust, making sure the tools worked properly and re-familiarizing myself with the call re...

After getting a few seasons under my belt and paying attention to what I need in a blind and what I do not, I went to work on one that would fit all the needs I am aware of at this time. This new blind concept had to meet a few criteria:Had to come in under 50lbs.Had to be compact.Had to provide ample room for two...

Has anyone ordered crow decoys and supplies from the UK specifically A1 decoys? I have emailed them a couple of times without an answer and was just wondering if anyone has successfully ordered from their website.

Good Evening Everyone! I have followed Crowbusters for many many years. Back in 2000 I ordered 2 "Slayer" crow calls (1 Cedar and 1 Plastic) from the site.

While doing some scouting here in Oklahoma I met a rancher who shoot's a few crow's now and then. He showed a pic of a crow he shot last year with a band on it's leg. The band had a phone number on it but he had never called it in. I convinced him to call it in to see what we could learn about the crow's travels. The...

Here are some photos from a recent hunt. We shot 173 crows from 2:30 p.m. to 5:15 p.m. No way to see all the downed birds in that jungle in front of us. The last photos are of some crows going out to feed in the morning.

Here is the best hunt so far this season. I got two with one shot on this hunt. Dick and I rolled 417 crows from 2:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. I shot 217 and Dick shot 200. The first photo is on Dicks side of the blind. It's impossible to see all the birds downed in the under brush.

I did a search and did not find any previous posts on the rotary magnet decoys. It seems they are mostly used in the UK for pigeons, but they also have a crow version available as well. Does anyone use one of these setups and if so how successful are they? Does anyone sell the rotary magnet decoys in the Uni...
